New Article

Howdy all, I created this page because of all the rumors and speculation that has been going around that the NFL may be headed to Toronto. I'm going to be adding many as much info as I can in a little while, I have not created any redirections to this page yet because it is still under development.Joesixpac (talk) 23:17, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Remove Crystal Ball

I have added a verifiable reliable source that states there is speculation that an NFL franchise may move to Toronto so I think this warrants the removal of the crystal ball candidate for deletion. Joesixpac (talk) 23:37, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Rename?

I was thinking it would be a good idea to rename/move this page to be "National Football League in Canada" because we don't know if once Toronto gets a franchise, maybe Vancouver or somebody else. Let's expand it to make it more of a broad sense. Just a suggestion. conman33 (. . .talk) 21:43, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

As of now the speculation is directed toward Toronto getting a new franchise. I have never heard or read anything that may suggest Vancouver or Montreal or anywhere else may get a franchise. If someone finds something verifiable it should be included but until then this page should remain the same.Joesixpac (talk) 02:31, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

I understand. I think it would be also neat to focus maybe on fanbases in Canada for teams other than the Bills. Maybe talk about CFL vs. NFL fan appeal? I dunno. conman33 (. . .talk) 20:52, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Vancouver??? c'mon man! their not even building a stadium for the 2010 olympics (hving them instead in ulgy old BC Place, ugh!), let alonw they will build one for an NFL team, and forget Montreal, after the Big O (pretty building, awful stadium), you will not see a new football stadium there for a while, heck the CFL team there is renovating a college stadium, and even then it will only be 25,000 to 30,000 seater. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.213.222.59 (talk) 06:40, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Creating a new article for Bills Toronto Series

Hello. I am a writer for a PR/Marketing firm. One of our clients is Rogers Communications, one of the promoters/organizers of the Bills Toronto Series. I've been asked to write a Wikipedia article for the Series, and I'd just like to ask for any suggestions or potential hurdles. I realize this might overlap the existing NFL in Toronto article, but I believe, based on the Wikipedia guidelines, that a separate BTS article is warranted (the Series does include the first-ever regular-season NFL game played in Canada, and could possibly mark the push to either move an NFL franchise to Toronto, or for a group in Toronto to develop a franchise there). Thanks in advance for any help -- just wanted to be upfront about the article's authorship. AndyJHG (talk) 21:27, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

I thank you for being up front about who you are and what you're proposing, but I would strongly suggest that you refrain from writing such an article. Please see out conflict of interest and FAQ for businesses guidelines. It is important for the integrity of the encyclopedia that articles are writen by folks neutral to the subjects they're writing about. I hope you'll respect these principles. You are, of course, free to write about any subject that your firm is not involved with promoting. AKRadecki^Speaketh 01:41, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

I appreciate your help, Alan. I'll still write the article (I'm a professional writer with years of journalism and textbook authoring experience -- I believe I can achieve the neutrality Wikipedia demands), and will submit it in draft form on WP. I welcome any feedback from you (your WP contributions are amazing and commendable!) or from other WP editors to make it the best possible article. I have no desire to "pimp" the Bills Toronto Series, and (as someone with no dog of much size in the fight) I sincerely believe it has at the very least a historical aspect of notability in the same way the NFL International Series does, and deserves a shot at a well-written, succinct entry. Thanks again!AndyJHG (talk) 20:05, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Bills Toronto Series → National Football League in Toronto - No rationale given by person who added the merge tags to the article. Completed by BillCJ (talk) 19:59, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

• Oppose - While the subjects do overlap, National Football League in Toronto covers the topic of the NFL in general and the possibilites of a team being placed in Toronto, while the Bills Toronto Series focuses solely on the Bills Toronto Series itself. I think they work fine as separate articles. - BillCJ (talk) 19:59, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Vikings

I'm going to remove the reference to the Vikings' new stadium taking them out of the relocation speculation sweepstakes - as its page indicates, the stadium is still only proposed and lacks any public funding. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones continues to imply that the team will move if it isn't built.[1] SixFourThree (talk) 18:02, 22 September 2009 (UTC)SixFourThree

UPDATE INFORMATION

This page has incorrect, outdated, and uncited information. The minimum seating for an NFL team needs to be cited, as is it most certainly not set at 50,000 as the article states. In addition, Paul Godfrey is incorrectly aligned with the NFL in Toronto theme in this article without citation. Mr. Godfrey is on the record stating that NFL will not work in the Rogers Centre and that he does not support it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Markbratto (talk • contribs) 01:52, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

The statement about Godfrey is sourced, if you want to alter it you'll need another source. The article is outdated, perhaps beyond repair. I tend to doubt that this is a particularly notable subject.Cúchullain ^t/c 14:29, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
